@PiaRedDragon @svpino How much RAM do you need for these?

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

@paulg Only Open AI. Thankfully, Claude does not do this.

What you are actually doing here is to bribe nokia to put these jobs into Canada by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per job from taxpayer money. What this does is to lower the cost basis of nokia per employee. This has been going on for decades, called FDI which all civil servants think is a good thing. I spent a lot of time explaining to civil servants in ottawa that its not good for our economy that American and Oversees branch offices can employ Canadians at half the cost to all the canadian companies around them due to these subsidies. We should not do them at all, they are toxic, at least in the tech sector.

It's never meat to be this way, but the situation that very often arises is: It's strictly worse inside of Canada to be a Canadian company compared to a company headquartered everywhere else.

This is a bad situation, because the fruits of the subsidized labor will accrue to the wealth of other countries and not Canada. It's tax payer money invested into locking up scarce high tech talent in jobs where they no longer contribute to the Canadian economy directly. Why

I accidentally started the most Canadian rally cry ever

[Andrew Pruszynski @andpru]

For any post-doc or grad student: pitch me one study (high level, ~1-2 paragraphs) that you would like to do and that's close to what we actually do. If it's interesting and logically presented you will get a Zoom interview.

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

Interested in grad studies in forensic affective neuroscience? CANdiLab will be considering top graduate students at the MSc or PhD level for fall 2025.

Canadian and International students equally welcome to apply.

Our symposium at #SSSP2024 on emotion processing under motivatonal conditions and psychopathy was a blast! So great to share and discuss our work with the audience.

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

Super excited to have CANdiLab be a part of #SSSP2024 in Cyprus; to help contribute to our developing knowledge of psychopathy.

If you're at the conference, come say hi: on Thursday at our posters (3), on Saturday (final symposium of the conference!), or any time in between.

The terminology used in discussions on mental state attribution is extensive & lacks consistency. Here, experts from various disciplines collaborate to introduce a shared set of concepts & make recommendations regarding future use.@IanApperly @sbaroncohen https://t.co/9eAOt7EbeT

[Preventing Disorders of Aggression @PsychopathyIs]

High psychopathy individuals experience positive emotions like excitement in response to stimuli that scare others.
(But @PsyPost: maybe rethink using AI images like this that perpetuate stereotypes about psychopathy?) https://t.co/Nd4qWjs7Cc

Big congrats to MSc Candidate Corina Picco who was awarded a coveted Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) for the 2024/25 year.

Keep your eyes on this rising star! 💫

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

@ajshackman Curious if this includes (or could include) comparison to professional programs that require similar levels of schooling (e.g. law, medicine, business).

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

@AndrewDevendorf Sadly, collecting new data gets funding; writing up old data *costs funding* (I'm looking at you @ElsevierConnect, @FrontiersIn, etc.).

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

@MJalbrzikowski @PessoaBrain We regularly used to put y-o-y salary increases into our budgets, never got a complaint. Not cost-of-living per se, but it's only prudent budgeting to account for salary increases, because they'll happen whether you budget for them or not.

[SSSP Students @SSSPStudents]

Exciting news: the 2024 conference in Cyprus will also feature an informational student event and we are looking for your input!

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

@DCameron84 @ElianaHadTime @RockEthicsPSU @PSUPsychology @PSULiberalArts @SSRIPennState Is this a Penn State initiative, or are you inviting broader involvement?

[CANdiLab @CANdiLabScience]

Thanks so much to @NIRx_NIRS for the training session today on our brand new NIRSport2 fNIRS system.

Next step: cutting-edge neuroimaging work to better understand human social/emotional/cognitive processing in naturalistic environments.
